Texture difficulties -can't find solution
by Jeff Trier · in Torque Game Engine · 11/11/2001 (11:41 am) · 13 replies
I am have a problem with getting my textures to show up on my MAP objects. I read the docs and scoured the forums and I can't seem to find anything that works.
-The textures I am using are either 256x256 or 512x512
-I exported my object from Worldcraft as a MAP
-After setting up the "Run Map" Advanced functions I pressed go. (I get orphaned ploygons, but per the forums thats normal)
-I run TorqueDemo_DEBUG
-I enter the editor, locate my object in "D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\maps"
-Place it
Then there are no textures.
My file locations are:
Objects, Texture WAD, and Textures the WAD was made from = D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\maps
TorqueDemo_DEBUG = D:\torque\example
Also it should be noted that the objects that came with the SDK have no textures hen placed from the editor.
Any help would be apreciated!
Thanks,
-Jeff

I moved both the textures and the WAD there.
Any other posabilities?

Make a new dir in:
D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\
called something like mygame so it looks like this:
D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\mygame
place the textures in the root of:
D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\mygame
make a new dir in that called maps like this:
D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\mygame\maps
And put the rest in here.
BTW the WAD is only used by WC so you don'treally need to move that around.
Make sure the textures are in PNG format.
You could probably also use the jpg format but its pointless.

I will have to see if thats the problem. Back to the drawing board.
Thank for the help though. :)

Try exporting it again with the last file structure I suggested.// Clocks out

gah!
Could it be I set something up wrong? Or maybe a setting in the editor itself? I would think I should at least be able to see the textures on objects I can place that came with the SDK.
From the "D:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\evil1\fairfax" directory.
Btw, Thanks for the peronal attention. hehe :)

Well if they are textured in WC but "black" when you place them in the world editor all that I can think is that maybe you havnt hit the "relight" button in the editor.?

Hey Jeff, BTW a strange coincidence happened the other day. A friend of mine knows a guy you used to work with on the Prince of Persia game. Weird.. It's a small world.:)

I miss those days. If the commute didn't kill my back I would still be working there!
I worked with a fun bunch of people. Nothing like hearing "NURF WAR!" and watching people pull out their rapid fire nurf weapons at work. lol
